And who is Caroline Vidican?

I love to create art. Anything. Simple, complicated, huge, tiny. I don’t have a favourite medium for expressing myself any longer. Yarn, clay, stone, paint, multimedia. I’m retired, so finally I have all the time in the world to experiment. I knit a lot, I paint a lot, thick oil paint with a palette knife. I sculpt clay and cut stone. Some of it is beautiful, some less so. But the pleasure is always there. And of course I cook…

I love the sea. When I retired I moved from the Loire Valley to the Finistère, right at the very westernmost tip of France. A beautiful, wild, rocky place of surf and sandy beaches, wild moorland, gentle hills that the people here call mountains. A region of Celtic legend, misty past and radiant present. Of bagpipe music and men and women in traditional costume dancing traditional dances. Magic is literally everywhere, you feel it, it speaks to you. You cannot but be in love with the place.
